The present invention relates to a method for a portable memory device (100), in particular a memory stick, and it also relates to devices that are operable according to said method. In a first step the portable memory device (100) is connected to a computer system (200) via a data interface (140, 240), through which data (S D ) can be exchanged between the portable memory device (100) and the computer system (200). The method comprises the further steps of:
a) with a detection module (30), detecting a system state change that is indicative of a termination of the exchange of data (S D ) and thereupon providing an alarm indication (S A ), such as a signal or message;
b) forwarding the alarm indication (S A ) from the detection module (30) to an alerting module (40); and
c) upon receiving the alarm indication (S A ) activating the alerting module (40) at least temporarily in order to send an alerting signal (S out ) to the user of the portable memory device (100).
