Massive Data usage in a small time.

Hello, I have a huge issue at my house right now. Our data keeps getting used out of nowhere since last Saturday. That same day I downloaded and installed a mod for a game, but other than that I don’t see what could possibly do this. I thought I got a virus through this, so I shut my PC down, but whatever was using the data continued to keep sucking it dry all of it. We are on an extremely limited plan of 120 Gigabytes per month, so we cannot let this continue. Could a virus transfer through a network when I downloaded the mod? I checked the site and it was trustable, and I checked the mod file and it was clean. Here are the devices on the internet that could cause it:

Amazon Echo (my main guess now)

Xbox One

Four iPhones

Two iPads

A Mac

and Two Lenovo Thinkpads.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?

That’s the problem, no one is streaming anything.
