later Singpass or MyInfo data leak again
MyInfo is access tokenized. It's only valid at point of access.

There's no need to store data since there is a verification process during the check, and the access date+time is recorded alongside the info.

Also, since the data they store is time-sensitive, it reduces the chances of breach. Especially if they opt not to retain full NRIC data but adopt best practise of retaining last 4 digits on records (they no longer need to). However, they still need to retain data pertinent to billing, so that will be of concern. A breach will be less damning than storing full NRIC images in the past - there is no way back from there.

Did you request to have Credit report free for 6 month? In the 1st email from MR there is a form to submit your detail.

Only upon submitting your detail u will get an activation code for Credit report.

Is it normal for credit bureau to send a monitor hit the next day of application?

This monitor has been triggered due to "a credit enquiry" on your credit file.

Enquiry Date:
Enquirer: PERSONAL ONLINE REQUEST
Enquiry Type: New Application
Product Type: Self
Account Type: Single
