Rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) have enabled increasingly sophisticated face forgeries, posing a significant threat to social security. However, current Deepfake detection methods are limited by constraints in existing datasets, which lack the diversity necessary in real-world scenarios. Specifically, these data sets fall short in four key areas: unknown of advanced forgery techniques, variability of facial scenes, richness of real data, and degradation of real-world propagation. To address these challenges, we propose the Multi-dimensional Face Forgery Image (\textbf{MFFI}) dataset, tailored for real-world scenarios. MFFI enhances realism based on four strategic dimensions: 1) Wider Forgery Methods; 2) Varied Facial Scenes; 3) Diversified Authentic Data; 4) Multi-level Degradation Operations. MFFI integrates $50$ different forgery methods and contains $1024K$ image samples. Benchmark evaluations show that MFFI outperforms existing public datasets in terms of scene complexity, cross-domain generalization capability, and detection difficulty gradients. These results validate the technical advance and practical utility of MFFI in simulating real-world conditions. The dataset and additional details are publicly available at {https://github.com/inclusionConf/MFFI}.

The rapid evolution of deepfake technology poses an unprecedented threat to the authenticity of Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) imagery, which serves as a representative of short-loop temporal media in social networks. However, existing proactive forensics works are designed for static images, which limits their applicability to animated GIFs. To bridge this gap, we propose GIFGuard, the first spatiotemporal watermarking framework tailored for deepfake proactive forensics in GIFs. In the embedding stage, we propose the Spatiotemporal Adaptive Residual Encoder (STARE) to ensure robustness against high-level semantic tampering. It employs a 3D convolutional backbone with adaptive channel recalibration to capture globally coherent temporal dependencies. In the extraction stage, we design the Deep Integrity Restoration Decoder (DIRD). It utilizes a spatiotemporal hourglass architecture equipped with 3D attention to restore latent features, allowing for the accurate extraction of watermark signals even under severe facial manipulation. Furthermore, we construct GIFfaces, the first large-scale benchmark dataset curated for GIF proactive forensics to facilitate research in this domain. Extensive results show that GIFGuard achieves high-fidelity visual quality and remarkable robustness performance against deepfakes. Related code and dataset will be released.
