Hi


This is calendar spam, not a virus. It cannot expose your information.


If you have iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Check for any accounts that you don't recognise - remove them if there are.

If you have iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Check for any accounts that you don't recognise - remove them if there are.
