So can you explain, hypothetically how someone could use these NSA tools to, say ... boost the balance of some bank accounts? Can servers be hacked and funds transferred??? Or if reluctant to explain processes, just, does that capability exist??

And most of these malwares the NSA has cooked up will only work on computers that are not protected, and you won't find computers at banks like that.
Not so silent night: Dallas emergency siren system hacked
DALLAS (AP) — Hackers struck the sirens Dallas uses to alert residents to take shelter from inclement weather, triggering intermittent false alarms for about an hour and a half until officials deactivated the system early Saturday morning.
The person or people responsible were able to hack into a part of the system that was communicating with all 156 of the city's sirens, Rocky Vaz, who heads the city's Office of Emergency Management, said at a news conference.
Technicians were trying to determine how to bring the system back online without the risk of it being hacked again, he said. In the meantime, the public has access to other alert systems. Vaz said he hoped to have the siren system back up by Sunday.
The sirens began sounding at 11:42 p.m. Friday. Officials deactivated the entire system by 1:17 a.m. Saturday. Vaz said the sirens went through about 15 cycles of a 90-second siren activation.

Like the rest of your posts, you just make stuff up as you go along, don't you?
You mean you won't find unprotected, susceptible computers in banks like THIS or THIS
That's just the first two when I Googled. There's plenty more in the past couple years.
Have you even bothered checking?? O_o
Hacking group Shadow Brokers has released a data dump allegedly stolen from the NSA detailing the agency’s ability to hack international banks, including the SWIFT network, via Windows PCs and servers used for global financial transfers.
