    I’m actually surprised that this wasn’t seen before. It’s a domain that can’t be blocked in lots of companies, and frequent requests to it won’t raise any flags in any company that uses Google Workspace.

      Yep, this. A couple years ago, Google Drive sharing was used in a loosely similar way to deliver malware, and Google had to build some new controls. I’m surprised it took the baddies this long to exploit GCal.
