Hello, 
You may rely on Cost Explorer in such findings quickly, by utilizing the below filters.
Usage Type Group: Data Transfer (Select all that applies to your use case),
Linked Account: Select the accounts that are in question,
Group by: Dimension: Select Usage type,
Service: Select the service where you suspect the usage is coming from.

If you would like to see such Reports/Dashboards and drill down to unit cost level, you should consider deploying Cloud Intelligence Dashboards.
