US authorities and Nvidia examine espionage risks following Jensen Huang affair

U.S. federal authorities and the board of directors at Nvidia are continuing investigations into whether Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang was targeted by Chinese intelligence. The inquiries follow disclosures regarding Huang's affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed suspected by Washington of ties to Beijing's spy services.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the FBI is actively investigating the matter. Trump noted he spoke directly with Jensen Huang, who expressed surprise and denied knowing about any espionage connections. While Jensen Huang publicly acknowledged his infidelity to Nvidia staff, he did not name his partner.

Nvidia stated that an initial review found no evidence that corporate data or government secrets were compromised. However, the disclosures have raised broader concerns regarding technological security and contributed to a decline in company shares.
