Apple Introduces 'Report Junk' Option To Deal With iCloud Calendar Spam Invites (9to5mac.com)

Apple is rolling out a fix for the iCloud Calendar spam issue that has plagued users over the past few weeks. On iCloud.com, reports 9to5Mac, the company has added a new Report Junk feature. This lets users remove spammy invites from their calendar and reports the sender to Apple for further investigation. From the report: The feature is currently only available on Apple's iCloud.com Calendar web app but it is likely to roll out to the iOS and Mac native Calendar in a future software update. Since early November, some Apple users were seeing a deluge of calendar invites from unsolicited people (usually with Chinese names) that used the description field of calendar invites to 'advertise' junkware and various physical products.

Unacceptable for professional use

Yet another reason why Apple products are unsuitable for business use. Getting calendar spam shouldn't be the user's problem. It should be the provider's problem. If for some reason we got spam into our Outlook Calendars at work, we'd switch providers in a heartbeat.
