- Companies may need stronger rules on leaders’ personal conduct.
- A major UK talcum powder case is due for trial in 2028.

## Summary

The Nvidia scandal prompts a warning that senior executives at major technology firms must prepare for hacking, coercion and scrutiny of their private conduct. The article argues that geopolitical tensions and widespread online exposure have made corporate leadership more precarious, with reputations and share prices vulnerable to damaging revelations.

It says companies should extend governance rules to cover personal conduct, as employees and members of the public can quickly publicise grievances. The piece also notes a UK class action in which several thousand people accuse Johnson & Johnson of selling talcum powder contaminated with substances linked to cancer; the company denies the claims, and the trial is listed for 2028. It describes the case as potentially the UK’s largest product liability action.
