In a tweet to BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, the group said: "We are based in the US, but we strive to take down Isis [IS] affiliated websites, also Isis members.
"We realise sometimes what we do is not always the right choice, but without cyber hackers... who is there to fight off online terrorists?
"The reason we really targeted [the] BBC is because we wanted to see our actual server power."
