Think about it – what better way to take advantage of a vulnerability in a piece of software than offer people freebie downloads for it!?
I reckon they’ve built that PDF in such a way that it buffer-overflows Adobe Reader and compromises your system (even if there’s no ‘payload’).
It gets even more suspect, because a hacking related mag, there for general security research, makes it a freebie download and don’t even check email addys properly!
I used ‘a@b.com’ to get it, haven’t opened it (yet).
Then again it could just be olde fashioned paranoia, either way, it makes for a possible lawsuit against them if they’ve done something stupid like that.

Mailinator and Dodgit aren’t required. Just enter any valid-looking e-mail. It won’t be checked.

foo@bar.com worked like a charm.
