The University Of Florida College Of Medicine in Jacksonville says Dr. Francis Ong stored photos and information of patients on a computer that he gave to a family in late January.

David Behinfar said they got the computer back in late April and had it checked out.

"The family had installed a new operating system on the computer February 24, so roughly around three weeks after they got the computer and they had destroyed most of the information that was on the hard drives," Behinfar said.

But he says storing the photos on an unsecured computer was a violation of privacy rules.

While they think the risk of misuse of the information is low, they sent out a letter to all 19-hundred patients of the doctor to let them know about the privacy breech.

He says Ong will be no longer be working at the college by June.
