Nvidia Board Opens Independent Investigation Into Foreign Intelligence Approach Targeting CEO

November 9, 2026 | By Semahegn Nigatu

Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation following reports that chief executive Jensen Huang was targeted in an alleged foreign intelligence effort.

The company said a committee of independent directors would oversee the inquiry, assisted by external independent legal counsel.

The investigation will examine all available information relating to the reported effort, according to a statement from the board.

The board said it had no reason to believe that US national security or Nvidia’s confidential information had been compromised, but described national and economic security as paramount to the interests of the company and its shareholders.

Huang supports the review and has committed to co-operating with the investigation, the statement said.

The board added that it retained confidence in Huang and the company’s leadership team and would provide further updates when appropriate.
