> Independent directors and outside counsel will lead the review. The board said it had no reason to believe national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised.

NVIDIA’s board opened an independent investigation Nov. 8 after reports alleged that founder and CEO Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. A committee of independent directors, with help from outside independent counsel, will oversee the review.

The board said it had “no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised,” and said the inquiry will examine all available information. Its statement did not identify an intelligence service or describe the reported effort.

Huang said, “I support the investigation and will cooperate fully.” In a separate message to employees on Nov. 8, he apologized for being unfaithful to his wife and said he took responsibility for the harm caused.

House committee chairs had asked Huang to brief them about the matter on Nov. 7. The board voiced confidence in Huang and his leadership team, said it may issue further updates, and has disclosed no findings.
