Today's term a blend of
kiddie and
idiot is synonymous with the older phrase
script kiddie. In fact,
kiddiot seems to have arisen as a shortened form of the phrase
script kiddiot, although the latter is more often seen as
script kidiot, as the earliest citation demonstrates:

"Microsoft is also painfully aware of the consequences of public disclosure of exploits as thousands of script kidiots attack vulnerable systems."
"Unix Security," Carole Fennelly, SunWorld, October 2000

For the record, here's an even earlier usage, although the sense is completely different:

"Maybe people have given up trying to keep companies from exploiting kids.
After all, long ago, Saturday morning 'kidiot' cartoon shows became open season on tiny (future) consumers."
