Got a security alert keeping coming into my calendar. Says 'Your Apple Device has been potentially hacked'. Says to click on a URL starting with 'hotrend.biz'. Is this a scam or so I need to click this? My calendar says 'Your BROWSER HISTORY might be tracked by HACKERS'.
iPhone SE, iOS 14
It’s usually easier to target people for hacking—hacking us, not our devices—than it is to hack our devices.

If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
I can't see anything rogue in there. Attached is what I see. This was in my calendar yesterday and as I didn't click it, it reappeared today. Scared to click it incase it's a scam.
Be certain to follow the instructions relevant to the version of iOS on your device.
Has my calendar been hacked?
