Today I get this message when trying to run apt update on my Debian:

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.

Any help will be much appreciated :)

Greetings!
The Debian team has disabled the Jessie backports repository. I do not believe that they intend to update it further, but I’m told that you can continue to use the archive of the repository by changing “ftp.debian.org” to “archive.debian.org” in your apt source list.

Hi @jarland and thank you for your answer.
I don’t think that’s my responsability to update source list because, as you can see, Debian-based Droplets rely on Digital Ocean mirrors:
# See http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.html
deb http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian stretch main contrib non-free
# Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the distribution.

Is Digital Ocean team working on something to fix this situation?
