NVDA•NVDA•NVDA•NVDA•Nvidia said it is opening an independent investigation after a report that CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence. The company said its board has no reason to believe U.S. national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised.
Nvidia said it will examine all available information. The company said its board has no reason to believe that U.S. national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, and that Huang fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating.
Top Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives called on Huang to brief Congress this month about a New York Times report alleging he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing. Axios reported that Huang admitted in a draft email to employees that he had a romantic relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. In the draft email seen by Reuters, Huang said, “I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did.”
