Darn good question. Exactly who is/are the intermediaries? How many
hands(eyes) do your credentials pass through?

Like paywalled content sites. What does that even mean, log in with
Google?

The history did not show anything that looked even remotely
suspicious, and this account has no forwarding rules. There was one
filter that I put in so long ago, I don't remember when it was. This
new filter just appeared out of nowhere (at least to me).
I use Thunderbird most of the time, and rarely use web mail. The one
other activity that I'd been doing in the time frame was archiving a
bunch of older emails to clear space, but I did that in Thunderbird.
In fact, I thought I'd accidentally created a filter in Thunderbird
(that's what I used to archive the old emails), but after I did the
archiving, I purged the Thunderbird filters).

you can look in your login history to see if your account was
accessed from elsewhere, also just for kicks check your forwarding
rules to make sure there isnt a forwarder set up

Just a few days ago, I changed all my google account passwords
(in case
you hadn't heard, there was a breach of ~~ 2.5 billion accounts).
As is probably the case with most of you, I have several
google accounts
for different purposes (including this one). So I went through
them one
by one. Just changed the passwords, and nothing else.
Right after that, all my AF incoming started going directly to
trash
(not spam). I couldn't for the life of me figure out why until
I checked
filters, and somehow a filter had been applied that directed all
incoming to the inbox was sent to trash.
I did not do that, and I don't know how it happened. My SO
thinks I was
hacked, but I have a hard time believing that.
None of my other google accounts was affected.
