We’re aware of the spam occurring in Calendar and are working diligently to resolve this issue. Google’s acknowledgement of the issue, first spotted by Engadget, comes in the form of a pinned post on the Google Calendar support forum. If a bot gets your email address and throws it on an invite which gets past Google’s anti-spam system, bam - it’s on your calendar as if you added it yourself. The problem: there… doesn’t seem to be much of a filter. Google says it’s aware of the issue, and is working on it.Īt some point, Google Calendar picked up a feature that automatically adds right onto your calendar any event you’re invited to, presumably to keep the invite from getting lost in your inbox. Spammers have found a way to trick Google Calendar into adding these things to your calendar without you doing anything. If you opened Google Calendar sometime in the last few weeks only to find your schedule filled with things like “WIN A FREE iPHONE!” or “CHEAP RAYBANS HERE”, you’re by no means the only one.
