Nvidia has confirmed that its Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation following reports that its Founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, was the target of a foreign intelligence operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement, made on 8 November 2026, follows recent media reporting that prompted the company to examine potential national security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Nvidia’s official statement, a committee of independent directors, assisted by external independent legal counsel, will oversee the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board emphasised that US national and economic security remained a priority for the company and its shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia’s Board of Directors said: \u201cWhile the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board’s inquiry will examine all available information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board also confirmed its confidence in Huang and the company’s leadership team, stating that the CEO fully supported the investigation and had committed to co-operating with the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a separate statement published on Nvidia’s official newsroom, Huang addressed his personal conduct and the national security concerns raised in news reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huang acknowledged that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family, colleagues and shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huang said: \u201cI was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He acknowledged the impact of his actions on his family and accepted responsibility for his conduct, recognising that he had damaged the trust of those closest to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huang said: \u201cI take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also addressed his colleagues, Nvidia’s Board, business partners and shareholders, acknowledging the expectations placed on him as the company’s leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huang said: \u201cLeading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reaffirmed his commitment to Nvidia and said he would work to regain the confidence of those who had placed their trust in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to the national security concerns raised in news reports, Huang confirmed his support for the Board’s decision to launch an independent investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huang said: \u201cRegarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA\u2019s Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also reaffirmed his commitment to protecting the company and supporting US national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huang said: \u201cI love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America\u2019s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his message, Huang accepted personal responsibility for his actions and requested privacy for his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board’s statement confirmed that it had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia’s confidential information had been compromised, although its investigation would examine all available information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia has not provided a timetable for completing the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board said it retained confidence in Huang and his leadership team and would provide further updates as appropriate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
