I use gmail and getting help is almost impossible, so thought I'd ask here. Today I received a (group) email from people that I know regarding a concert cancellation and the date. Inside the email was a link that was something like "cancelled. ics" (without the space or ditto). I do not do networking - and the options for networking/sharing are all set to "off."
I opened the link and the box appeared where I had to "approve" the link to be opened which I did because I recognized the names on the list. It went directly to my google calendar. I thought this was rather strange. I know the google calendar is attached to my gmail account, but why would a link from someone who doesn't know I have a google calendar take me directly to my calendar - and the date that the concert is cancelled?
Before I panic and think someone has "hacked" into my computer, would someone tell me if there is a reasonable and/or rational reason for this?
Thanks for any help!
