WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism  
adviser says the U.S. faces ''serious and significant'' cyberthreats  
that could compromise national security.

John Brennan says the administration is taking steps to improve  
cybersecurity and looking at the matter from an espionage and  
terrorism point of view. He says national security is something that's  
at risk.

Brennan isn't naming any country or individuals possibly behind  
cyberattacks. He was asked on NBC's ''Meet the Press'' about concerns  
that computer hackers in China have infiltrated computer networks.
