I updated my system on terminal, then I received this error message.

An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Debian_9.0 ./ InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: [signature] MegaLimited <support@mega.co.nz>

Any idea?

Yep. Disable the repo for Mega for a bit, and then enable again tomorrow to see if the issue has sorted itself.

The fix gpg bit won't work, already tried that.

But how do I disable the repo for Mega?

Open synaptic, settings - repositories - uncheck the mega one and OK out.

Re-enabled mega repo, reloaded and there was an update to it. Still a message popped up.

Not authenticated, but I kinda knew what this was.. so I let it update.

Reload and messages are now gone. They fixed it.

I am having continuing problem. I tried your method of removing Mega repo and then adding it back, but it did not work.
I got the following message:
GPG error: https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Debian_9.0 ./ InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 03C3AD3A7F068E5DThe repository 'https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Debian_9.0 ./ InRelease' is not signed.

Didn't you receive the email from mega?
