I received a message with a alert tome on my phone via my calendar notes. It said my details had been compromised and to prevent fraud I needed to download a app. What do I do, as this was apparently sent from Apple with their logo?
It is a spam Calendar account.
In Calendar app, tap on Calendars and uncheck the ones you don’t recognise .
Then
iOS13 Go to Settings, Passwords & Accounts and look in Accounts
iOS14 Go to Settings, Calendar and look in Accounts
And in either case see if a strange calendar is listed. If it is then tap on it and tap Delete account.

It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password etc with your friends and family members.
Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.
Thumb Rules:
Don’t delete the event, you need to take the entire calendar out. There are two things to do.
Take another careful look at my last post
Thank you
I can’t seem to delete the event in calendar as it doesn’t give an option to edit as it normally does and it keeps alerting me!😔
Part 1 will hide them
