Some Apple users have been plagued with iCloud calendar invite spam in recent weeks, with calendar periods being blocked up with unsolicited events from anonymous senders (usually with Chinese names). It is thought that the spammers are mass targeting any iCloud email account it can find on the web, rather than targeting specific users.
Apple has now acknowledged the issue in a statement to iMore with an apology for the issue to affected users. The company says it is actively “identifying and blocking suspicious senders” to counter the spam activity.
