Of course the fact that spam didn't work on .Mac was just an echo of the fact that nothing else did either...
Got a tip for us?

Apple Working to Put a Stop to iCloud Calendar Spam

I'm a little bothered that it sounds like their solution is going to be better spam filtering rather than the more obvious and direct "delete without notify". Don't get me wrong, spam filtering would be good too, but this is one of those things that benefits from a good blunt instrument.
Speaking of which:

I dunno... when I start getting recurring invitations to spam events, I start to realize it's not so much that the Saudi's have the wrong answers, they're just not applying them to the right people...
Sorry...
Still salty from working at the genius bar all those years...
The slack-jawed yokels would pull that out of their rear ends on a daily basis...
As if they owned Apple products prior to the iPhone...
From the Calendar App, its idiotic that you can't "Delete and Don't Notify".... The stinks of Jony Ive simplicity....
Apple sucks in regards to spam.
I never use my second iCloud/Me account and receive 80-110 emails a day all junk. The account is only used for itunes so it's not given out to any third parties unless Apple leaked it.
I mark everyone as junk and still comes in my inbox.
My spam gmail account on the other hand catches everything. This is used to sign up for shady web sites. Even has a weird username like g7faker@

My Gmail account marked a super important email from my professor as spam, so it went into the spam box that I didn't check for a month. I got really screwed over and then disabled the spam filter. It's useless if I have to check my junk box anyway.

Is this issue exclusive to Sierra? It only started happening when I "upgraded".
I'm reverting to El Capitan anyway (Sierra made my Sync software obsolete), and would like to know if this'll continue on that OS version.

Don't do it, man. There is a way to remove an invitation spam without notifying the spammer. Here you go.

No, Sudo1996, you are wrong. That is not the DDoS' fault.

This happens to users who don't even have Macs. It's just spam targeted at iCloud accounts in this case.
Is anyone finding this problem stopped as abruptly as it began? I got these for only one day, last Friday. Several, on that one day, and nothing since. I did shift to email notifications but that's the only change I made, and I am seeing none of those either.
.."Is quickly expanding and affecting others "across the board"... ????
Really? Are you keeping a running tally?
Incredible the wild SPECULATION that goes on here where posters suddenly think of themselves as "reporters".
While I can't offer anything "scientific" --either can this poster.. but NOBODY I know in my circle have been "devastated" by this "quickly expanding" "across the board"...spam issue
Seriously People - HACKING is clearly part of OUR life - whether your a DROID or APPLE user.
"A Typical" Apple? Really?
And I'm "assuming" your deep inside the ANDROID or GOOGLE operations center and are certain they are jumping on their own remedy - and they and only they are always pro active? Lol! That's why o why a measly percentage of Droid users are even safeguarded by ANY upgrades whatsoever to their incredibly VUNERLABLE outdated software.
Your right. Nobody on their end is loosing ANY sleep "worrying" about those holes -- right??
Right.
Typical Apple my ass.
See bolded above. Your post Clearly shows you don't know many people and what you're talking about for that matter. Try getting out more.
