Is there any way to make this game anymore secure than it is? Even if disbanding a clan would mean that an e-mail would be sent to your account and then you use the link to disband the clan that would be awesome. This would prevent anyone from hacking someone else's account like they did mine to do things like this.

By now, I'm sure we all know this wasn't a security breach, but instead an errant script run by an inexperienced admin that caused the clan disbanding.
What happened due to that script would not be prevented by a confirmation email as he was working directly on the database. But adding more security may be a good idea. Unfortunately, as you know, NW1 was not coded with supporting this many players in mind, and adding certain security measures can be difficult.
As for using email for security, we have tons of problems with our mail server, not the least being that email sent from our host is blocked by AOL (and also Netscape). That's why we are hesitant to use email for security reasons. When we move hosts and get mail setup properly, we may be able to change that.
For the time being, the game is fairly secure. There hasn't been a major securitty incident in a while, and no reports of any accounts being hacked have arisen either.
