So does that mean Person2 aka David didn't have a good password or left himself logged in at a public computer?

He was logged into his gmail account. Then he visited some malicious webpage that automatically set up the filter. He did not set the filter. He didn't even know about it.
Then, because of the filter the malicious web page inserted into his account, certain emails were being forwarded to the hacker. In this case, his domain emails.
