Nvidia said its board would open an independent investigation following reporting that chief executive Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. Ars Technica reports that Huang admitted an affair in an internal employee message on Sunday and said he would cooperate fully.

The Financial Times had reported allegations that a woman romantically involved with Huang was recruited to spy for China's Ministry of State Security. That account cited people familiar with an American intelligence-based memo identifying her as an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based Nvidia customer.
