NVIDIA’s board said on November 8 that it was opening an independent investigation following reporting that Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.

A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, would oversee the inquiry. The board said it had no reason at that time to believe national security or company secrets had been compromised, while committing to examine available information.

The statement said Huang supported the review and would cooperate. These are the board’s stated position and planned process, rather than investigative findings.

This article records the November 8 development. Huang’s subsequent departure was announced on November 12.
