Nvidia CEO faces counterintelligence probe over alleged honeytrap

U.S. federal agencies and Nvidia’s board of directors have launched investigations into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following allegations that a former executive from Singapore-based Megaspeed, Alice Huang, targeted him in a Chinese intelligence operation. Authorities suspect the association aimed to obtain sensitive semiconductor technology insights.

Huang admitted to marital infidelity in a statement to Nvidia personnel, though he did not publicly identify his partner. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the FBI is evaluating the situation, noting that Huang expressed shock and denied awareness of any espionage links. Nvidia's internal review has found no evidence that corporate or governmental secrets were compromised, but the oversight contributed to a decline in Nvidia's share price.
