(OT) New SPAM Attack - What should I do?

[Alan Dayley]

Have you been on Google+? When G+ first introduced the Events feature, it
would put any event shared with you on your calendar, whether you accepted
the event or not. The outcry was tremendous until Google changed the
default after a couple of days!

Double check your G+ settings to not accept events by default.
