Hacked comments showing up on my iPad calendar

I opened the calendar on my iPad and I have random notes on my calendar. I deleted the 2 calendar accounts listed under password and accounts, accounts, calendars like Mr.Foley instructed to someone else. It seems to have worked. What prevents this from happening again?

You need to know that your iPad was not hacked. What has happened, in my opinion, is that the calendars were added when the user was on the suspect website and prompted/tricked into clicking on a popup to receive permission to add those calendars. How does one prevent this from happening again? Knowing the above information, remain vigilant. Be aware of the websites and the requests that it may generate. This is the best method of prevention from getting unwanted calendars added to your device.
