iCloud users continue to be plagued by calendar spam: Report

San Francisco: Despite previous attempts to put the situation at rest, some iCloud users continue to experience spam calendar invitations, causing their calendars to be filled with random events.

The situation received widespread coverage in 2016, where Apple said that it was “actively working to address this issue” by “identifying and blocking suspicious senders.”

Victims are targeted in various ways. The most common method is by receiving a normal iCloud calendar invitation through their calendar app, MacRumors reported.

Interacting with the invitation, including declining, accepting, or choosing “Maybe,” lets the spammer know that the email is valid, so it can continue to be targeted.
