Cybersecurity Bill Passes House After Obama Veto Threat

The U.S. House passed cybersecurity legislation backed by companies including Boeing Co. and AT&T Inc., defying a veto threat by President Barack Obama’s administration over what it called inadequate privacy protections.

The bill gives companies immunity from lawsuits when they voluntarily share information, such as threats to computer networks and malicious source code, with each other and the U.S. government. It passed 288 to 127.
