events in chinese added to my calendar

Examine your Mail settings on OS X & iOS. Apparently there is a setting 'automatically add calendar invites' from emails.

Turn that option off if you can find it.

I have different iOS & OS X version to you so I cannot be specific.

It seems like a terrible idea that allows spammers to insert junk into other applications.

If you cannot delete the events try moving them to another calendar - other users on this site report that works for them.

I'd suggest you look at this post too…

Spam Calendar Invites

Andrew Mcvinnie explains how iCloud is setup to receive calendar events over email - that may be from a spammer.

Changing the Mail settings will not remove the events as far as I understand. The events were added to your calendar (probably by spammers). You need to remove them manually.

I don't know why they went from your spouses device, it is not totally clear to me how they are linked & how you removed them.

Look around these forums, there are other cases discussed. As far as I can see they are not sinister hacks, just a terrible default option that allows anyone to add to your calendar simply by emailing you. Seek help at an Apple store if you feel that will make any difference and/ or post feedback.

If you feel iCloud was hacked use the regular recourse to resolve that (password resets, enable 2 step/ 2 factor, change associated passwords)…

Changed settings on my phone...no change. Changed them on my wife's phone(we share the calendar) and all the Chinese events were removed. Now she's paranoid she's been hacked or something more sinister...

Same here, every day as far as I can see has an event in what I assume is Chinese.

there much be other events in chinese on other devices that were created were synced through iCloud. To change this check your icloud settings to fix what events you want transferred over.

I have the exact same problem. Where is it coming from? Is someone hacking our phones? @apple, is there a security problem with our iCloud addresses? I already changed all my passwords but after re-connection to iCloud calendar the events in Chinese are back. What can we do about it? Very annoying...
