Keep in mind, nobody is "getting to" your calendar. They don't have access to it at all.
They simply send an event invitation to your email address. And because you're invited to a thing, your mail app "helpfully" adds it to your calendar.
They don't know whether you have a calendar. They just send them to thousands of email addresses hoping that somebody will see them.
Thank you. That clarifies things for me. All this time I've been using smartphones and I didn't know this was a thing. I use my calendar a lot, so I assume for something to appear in it like that, it needs to be put there intentionally. Not gonna lie, but when that last one appeared right before my eyes I got straight-up spooked.
Yeah, I get that. Unless you either read about it, or have worked in a corporate environment with calendars that have events pop up on them without your direct intervention, it's not something that would be intuitive.
What's important is that nobody has access to your stuff. They just want you to think they do.
