Obviously you don't know how brute force hackings work.

Facebook or hotmail isn't vulnerable to brute force. They have a security code so bots can't mass attempt passwords. Numbers and symbols wouldn't help however if they where.
Brute Forcing is the lowest form of hacking and very little sites allow their users to be vulnerable to it. Chances are you have been Dox'd and somebody has been able to recover to some extent.
Fix your security by making ALL security questions as secure as your password. Use more than one email. The email address you use for facebook should NOT be the same as the email you use for WG forums or Runescape.
Hacker could be somebody on a Facebook account which you have added a while ago. Giving them access to any important information over a period of time.
To hack a facebook you need to have access to the email address or the account would be locked for 24 hours before the attacker would have access to it.
