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.

No, security is not compromised. The messages are all bogus, and appeared in your calendar because you unknowingly accepted an offer from a web site to “Send Notifications”. Following the instructions for your version of iOS, will get rid of silly calendar events. No further steps would be required, other than be alert for such offers from websites.
