Weird items on my Calendar

Yesterday I was scrolling through my calendar as I always do to see what the week brings and noticed a bunch of weird scheduled items I didn’t place on my calendar nor is it even the way or look like the way I enter items on my calendar. A picture of what was on it it shown here. Does anyone know why or what’s would cause this? Has my phone been hacked? I keep no card info in my digital wallet but do have bank account and credit card apps that are logged into the other Face ID. Any input or recommendations would be appreciated.

This is Calendar Spam which was downloaded to your phone by YOU clicking on a link which downloaded a Spam Calendar to your iPhone. Be VERY careful when you click links from sites you are not fully aware of.

Here is a link about how to remove the Calendar Spam --> Calendar spam - Apple Community

Yep, it can happen easily by clicking on a link. Unless you provided any personal data after opening anything from the spam links, you're fine. If you did provide personal information through one of the calendar links, you may want to change your Apple ID Password. But the spam just being there won't compromise you.

Thanks for the quick response. I did find and delete the calendar. Does this happen by just clicking on something? Also I didn’t click or open any of the items that were listed. Is it possible someone has my info and I should change it?
