Spam calendar entries

Hello,


For the past few months I can see that my calendar is automatically showing me some reminders containing some links and warnings that my iPhone is hacked. Due to my busy schedule in work and believing that only my calendar is hacked, I could not take any action so far. But right now I am sick of it and want to resolve it. I hope you could help me. I am also attaching the screen shot of the issue.


best regards,

Adnan

That is a Rogue Calendar account. 


If you are using iOS 13 then Go to Settings Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.


If you are using iOS 14 then Go to Settings Calendar Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.


Note that it is not a virus. It is something that got added to your calendar because you may have accepted an offer from a pop-up on a website unknowingly. Please be careful out there.
