The article provides a good summary of the Stuxnet story. It is quite fair and makes it clear that it's not certain that the worm originated in Israel or that Iran's nuclear program was affected. The possible link between Israel and the use of the word "myrtus" in the code is extremely circumstantial and not an important development in the story.
So a calling card in the code could be part of a mind game, or sloppiness or whimsy from the coders. More »

Gives some background about the Wampanoag tribe and the language revival project. They could have gotten tribe members' and linguists' opinions about the project, but still a pretty good article.

The possible biblical reference is to Esther 2:7: "And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother ..." Hadassah (Hadasa) is a feminine form of hadas, the Hebrew word for myrtle. Esther was a Jewish woman who gained influence in the Persian court and saved Jews from a planned massacre. The event is commemorated in the Jewish holiday of Purim. However, the use of jokey and idiosyncratic names is very common in programming.
