How Can I Get My Contact List Back After Being Hacked?

On 6/1/10 someone hacked into my old hotmail account and sent a request for money because I was stranded in Englad.  I could not get into my old hotmail account, retrieve any messages.  Therefore, I have set up a new account with new password.  Do I have any guarantee that this won't happen again?    What about my facebook account with the same old email address.... do I need to change this also?
