I received an email today with an “invitation” from Google Calendar and was shocked to see a little later that the event in question had been added automatically to my calendar. The email had 2 attachments: "Mail Attachment.ics" and "invite.ics." I only looked at the email in Mail on my computer with macOS Ventura; I did not click on anything.
How can I prevent such an intrusion into my computer (or iPhone or iPad) from happening again? I did not find an option to prevent this in macOS System Settings or the preferences of macOS Mail or Calendar.
Before someone tells me that I could decline such an "invitation" in Calendar - I don't even want that. I certainly especially don't want that because it could mean that the sender of the email gets to know it. I want nobody but me to enter anything into my calendar. I have to say that I'm pretty outraged about this. First at Google for doing this, and then at Apple for allowing it by default.
