Google Calendar Target of Spammers?

If you are like me, Google Calendar has become a major part of your life. Our family all uses it and it has made scheduling issues much easier to deal with as my wife has her calendar, I have mine, and then we have the massive one with the boys schedules on it.
We really have pushed much of our lives onto Google Calendar and it is almost scary that someone could make a mess of it.
Well according to Mashable, folks are now spamming the calendar by pushing invites to you. Fortunately there is a quick fix which I have now implemented.
The spam itself apparently comes to your gmail as an appointment schedule, in the form of an .ics file. Luckily, there is a solution, straight from official Google Calendar group:
“If you’ve enabled notifications for “New invitations,” you can
configure your Google Calendar settings to only show events you’ve
created or accepted:
1. Click on “Settings” at the top of any Google Calendar page
2. Select the “General” tab if it isn’t selected already.
3. In the “Automatically add invitations to my calendar” section,
select “No, only show invitations to which I have responded.”
4. Click on “Save.”“
On a positive note for Google Calendar it now allows you to sync with Microsoft Outlook’s calendar. That will be a project as many of my milestone dates and schedules have been programmed into Outlook over the years. Combining the two should be very beneficial.
