We downloaded it a long while back when the company I was with used it for collating some company security stuff, but then we never used it once it was highlighted that while it’s compliant with basic app guidelines, it probably also stores your data elsewhere, not so compliantly.
So, delete it.

Here’s another thing. A lot of locals let the phone shop set up their phones for them, and they quite often end up with a clone of a clone of a clone… The other half is bad at that. Someone may well have downloaded the app based on ‘helpful’ advice.

Be selective about who you lend the phone to. If you must, track down all your spares, set up a separate Apple ID for ‘family’ to keep your stuff separate from theirs, and all your spares. And change all your current passwords.


Edit. On second looking, The one in the OP is similar to the one that the company used, which was microShiite related. But basically the same thing. Password and login storage. Still probably redundant. I’d still take some extra care with who uses the phone in your absence.

A simple google would of told you that your calendar was subscribed to some random bullshit site that whoever borrowed your phone was on (more than likely looking at porn) and it would of taken less time to unsubscribe in the settings than it would of taken to factory reset the phone.

What you had happen to you is one of maybe five popular hacks for iphones and I'd say 60% of khmer iphone owners have it solely from looking at porn. https://www.ipvanish.com/blog/iphone-calendar-virus/

So POTR wasn't really hacked, he just inadvertently downloaded some malware so he could watch porn? That makes a lot more sense.

I'm not an apple guy but had to fix one of the cousins iPhones with similar issues, they've downloaded something and it's hidden in your settings, somehow involved with the calendar on the phone.

Reset any other phones you have lent out.
You have been lucky so far, but you are probably being warehoused, where they store info on you to eventually "be you."
