Is ISS network traffic monitored? Because if it is, this was a really dumb crime.

To my understanding, she wasn't determined to have actually committed it, just was accused

Yup:

The claims were later found to be false, and McClain was cleared.[28] On April 7, 2020, Worden was indicted on two charges of making false statements.

So the person who's identity was stolen blamed someone who was literally in space at the time? LOL

The person who claimed to have had their identity stolen, yes

Please tell me this entire thing wasn't an elaborate add for NordVPN.

It's probably fully recorded. Everything in and out.

That way if there's a mishap it's possible to go back and reconstruct the entire sequence or to replay high fidelity simulations of the network traffic at the equipment to reproduce problems.

Probably safe to assume that it is.

Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.
