This a new
type of spam in circulation for iCloud accounts. It’s been really annoying to
receive junk mail and spam e-mails. iCloud users must be
careful because Spammers are now focusing not only on e-mails, even your Calendar and
iCloud photo sharing to believe it. So you get the strangest unsolicited
requests for calendars and photo sharing via iCloud Calendar and Photos
application. These are visible on your iOS device, but also on the Mac.

So, if you
receive a Calendar invite that’s spam and simply choose the “Decline” option,
the problem won’t go away. In fact, it’s likely to increase because the
spammer knows that the account is active. The same goes for iCloud Photo
Sharing. Hit decline and you’re opening yourself up to more spam, not getting
rid of that sender for good. This, of course, is different from Mail spam,
which is either cleaned out by a spam filter or is a one-off thing because
there’s no way for the spammer to know if the account is active or not.
