# Analyzing Ransomware Payment Wallets

## When to Use

- An organization has been hit by ransomware and the ransom note contains a Bitcoin or cryptocurrency wallet address that needs investigation
- Law enforcement or incident responders need to trace where ransom payments flowed after the victim paid
- Threat intelligence analysts are attributing ransomware campaigns by clustering payment infrastructure across incidents
- Investigators need to determine if a ransomware group is reusing wallet infrastructure across multiple victims
- Compliance or legal teams need evidence of fund flows for prosecution, sanctions enforcement, or insurance claims

**Do not use** this skill for live payment interception or to interact directly with ransomware operators. All analysis should be passive and read-only against public blockchain data.
