Nope. No virus. No hack.

You subscribed to a calendar, and it’s filled with spam.

Remove the subscribed calendar.

Here is what happened, and how to remove the subscribed calendar:

You’ve subscribed to a spam-filled calendar. Unsubscribe from the subscribed calendar.

No “virus”, no “hack”, nothing wrong here, just a spam-filled calendar subscription that was offered and was accepted.

could the virus download pictures onto your iPhone S ? This happened to me and pictures where illegal with high risk of legal consequences

To be absolutely clear:

THERE IS NO “VIRUS” AND NO “MALWARE” IN THIS THREAD. NONE.

THERE IS NOTHING “HACKED” HERE. NOTHING.

This thread is not about a “virus” or a “hacker”, but rather about a subscribed calendar. The user was offered a calendar subscription vis web or email, and accepted it. The subscribed calendar was filled with advertising. Again, there is no “hack” here, and there is no “malware” here.

This thread is about some shady advertisers using a documented and supported and intended feature of iPhone, iPad, and macOS. The advertisers have here used what is known as some social engineering; of what’s sometimes been been called a “***”. Again, no “hack” and no “virus” and no “malware” here. None.

And if there were a way to show or to load images with a subscribed calendar, the advertisers would already be using that.

Now as for what is presumably involving CSAM or espionage or ilk, is it theoretically possible that can be loaded by others either locally (via knowledge of passcode) or loaded remotely (via malware or via password)? Sure. Absolutely.

Is it likely? That’s for the evidence and for the local legal system to decide.

Nobody here can state anything more specific than that without a whole lot more access into the device(s) involved and into any available logs; without forensics and a fair amount of digging. Which costs money and warrants.

You will want to discuss this matter with appropriate legal representation, and not with random folks of unknown qualifications, experience, and accreditation posting in a user forum, particularly in a thread not at all about “virii” or “hacks”.
