I've been having the same problems while running apt-get update,
including 'hash sum mismatch' and 'BADSIG' errors. I tried the
following:

1. Downloading updated keys
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <KEY_NAME>
sudo apt-get update

2. Clean cache then update (some report success with repeated cycles of this)
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

3. Clear out the list files completely, or just the partials
sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/partials/*
sudo apt-get update

4. Clear out the status file as it may be corrupted
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo apt-get update

5. Disable proxy to ensure direct download from the mirror
sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=true -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true -o 
Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 update

6. Try changing to another mirror in "Software & Updates"
I tried the following:
* ubuntu.ctu.edu.vn           (Vietnam     - failed - my original mirror)
* ubuntu.01link.hk            (Hong Kong   - failed)
* archive.ubuntu.com          (Main        - failed)
* mirror.switch.ch            (Switzerland - failed)
* mirror-fpt-telecom.fpt.net  (Vietnam     - success - a mirror hosted by my 
current ISP)


TL;DR Only changing the mirror was able to solve this problem for me.
