A so-called \'honeypot scandal\' involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has highlighted structural security vulnerabilities across the semiconductor industry, analysts say. As AI chip competition intensifies, industrial espionage aimed at core technology is increasing, along with lures and infiltration attempts targeting corporate executives. Due diligence specialists say similar incidents are occurring across the industry but often remain undisclosed. They warn such tactics can expose sensitive technology through executives’ private lives, corporate culture and vetting systems.
