Haha no at all the plot hole is far more subtule that simply a stupid error like that, the IBN gives possibility to hack the more secured SERN database to have access to Echelon recordings (containing the D-mail) and the documents of time travel experimentations. But that doesn't mean they haven't access to many other things in the SERN network. Daru never need the IBN to have access to the SERN network.
