Carney: US 'will do all it must' to protect computer systems from hackers

Tom Donilon, the president's national security adviser, told Chinese officials in meetings this past week that the United States "will do all it must" to protect the country's critical computer systems from cyberattacks, White House press secretary Jay Carney said.

"He made clear that the United States will do all it must to protect our national networks, our critical infrastructure and our valuable public and private sector property," Carney said during the daily White House press briefing. Carney did not elaborate on what steps Donilon said the U.S. government would take to protect those critical networks.
