I patented something that had a countermeasure for this, which was a bit impractical but fun to think about. Basically you put the sensitive data in an eeprom layered with a chemical that emits UV when exposed to air or, optionally, visible light - chemically more entertaining, hard to manufacture. But it's a just an arms race at that point.

Cool idea, but seems pretty straightforward to bypass and definitely an arms race
