Did they ever discover who was behind Stuxnet? The finger was pointed at Israel, but is there actually any evidence they were behind it?

I'm not sure, but I don't think so, and I doubt they'll ever find out. That shit was advanced, and they wouldn't leave and traces.

I remember reading/hearing there were references to the Hebrew Bible in the code. But that just makes me think it was somebody trying to frame Israel, because if Israel were the ones who created Stuxnet surely they would want to keep it a secret.

Oh, I missed that. But, Wikipedia to the rescue!
> Some have also referred to several clues in the code such as a concealed reference to the word "MYRTUS", believed to refer to the Myrtle tree, or Hadassah in Hebrew. Hadassah was the birth name of the former Jewish queen of Persia, Queen Esther.[96][97] However, it may be that the "MYRTUS" reference is simply a misinterpreted reference to SCADA components known as RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) and that this reference is actually "My RTUs"–a management feature of SCADA.[98] Also, the number 19790509 appears once in the code and might refer to the date "1979 May 09", the day Habib Elghanian, a Persian Jew, was executed in Tehran.[34][99][100] Another date that appears in the code is "24 September 2007", the day that Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia University and made comments questioning the validity of the Holocaust.[23] Such data is not conclusive, since, as written by Symantec, "Attackers would have the natural desire to implicate another party" with a false flag.[23][34]
