Apple apologizes for iCloud calendar invite spam, actively ‘identifying and blocking’ senders

<p>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.</p>
<p>Apple has now acknowledged the issue in a statement to iMore (https://twitter.com/reneritchie/status/804081476904042496), starting with an apology to anyone who has received iCloud calendar spam. The company says it is actively “identifying and blocking suspicious senders” to try and stem the arrival of the junk messages.</p>
