Abstract

The abuse of deepfake technology has propelled transnational cyber fraud towards a more technologically driven and cross-border collaborative form. This paper focuses on the reconfiguration of the transnational fraud criminal ecosystem by deepfake technology and its governance challenges. By employing a comprehensive approach that includes literature review, legal hermeneutics analysis, and empirical research methods , the paper systematically explores the technical characteristics, scale of harm, and governance dilemmas associated with deepfake technology. The study reveals that deepfakes have broken through biometric identification barriers, exacerbating the autonomy and precision of fraud schemes. Meanwhile, international cooperation efforts are constrained by jurisdictional conflicts, legal disparities, and difficulties in cross-border evidence collection. In light of these findings, the paper proposes governance recommendations such as restructuring international treaties, optimizing jurisdictional coordination, and establishing a global information-sharing mechanism. It highlights China's key role in aiding international fraud governance and rule-setting.
