President Barack Obama’s administration threatened to veto revised cybersecurity legislation backed by AT&T Inc. and Boeing Co., saying it doesn’t do enough to protect the privacy of U.S. citizens.

The bill, scheduled to be debated in the House tomorrow, would give companies immunity from lawsuits if they share information with each other and with the U.S. government about threats to computer networks.
