But how would they know which banks, savings accounts, etc, to target without additional information?

 They're hackers after money. They are not lazy. They try them one by one. Why would you think they wouldn’t bother to do that?

Doesn't sound likely to me, they want the money, but they wouldn't want to take unnecessary risks of getting caught, and randomly trying banks and financial organisations without the necessary identifying information such as account numbers would likely fail, and perhaps cause the police to be contacted.
