iPhone Calendar - Spammed "iPhone Max Is Here..."

[PhillyGuy72]

I'm looking around this forum, maybe I missed it, seeing if anyone else has this issue.

I just happened to notice a red bubble "Notification" on my iMac's calendar, when I opened it - my entire week is filled up with this spam entry - it shows up on my iPhone as well.

I have NO idea what this is or how it even got there. It burns me up to no end though!

Thanks, I searched the Subject line and found this. It looks like Google calendar was the culprit. Big widespread spam appeared last week on both IOS and Androids

Once I changed these incredible horrific Google security features - which is set on default, the spam invites disappeared on my iPhone/iMac.

That is just scary! I don't even use Google calendar, so I have to look up how to unsync this junk from my phone, computer.
